I wish you were
more
Like something I need
I wish you would change
Just for me
I wish you knew
What I need from you
What would you be
Without your filthy
Habits
How would you behave
If you were surrounded
With love and pride
I wish you'd change
To what I need
Whatcha doing
For me
Watcha doing for me
Oh I wish you knew
I wish you knew

Jim Beam on ice
Cola with ***
Tequila shooters
I plan to get numb
Let me get some
Schnapps that hotdamn
I'm gonna keep going
Till I'm hammered man


Turn up the music
Start making alibis
Cause after tonight
I'm gonna make my goodbyes
Been nice knowing ya
But do me right
Give me ah
JIm Beam on ice.

Kassie don't smile
When your away
I'm being selfish
I want you to stay
I'm no good
No good
I'm not willing
to share
You you you got to stay
Leave your smile here


Memories years from now
You and me hanging out
Dancing close
you and me
Keep your smile when you leave
Just for me
Kassie

Do we leave the loose corners out, to weaken the tie?
May we pull the corners into unity to strengthen the bind.
Ike E Davis May 2020
She's packing her things she's
Leaving now
She'll be back
She always finds a way
Even though she left
I can't make it
Without you
You're kinda
My thing
And to be alone now
Is too much for my brain


We've held hands like every day
And I stare in your eyes
She's getting in the car
And she doesn't even
Wave good bye
Can it be the start
At an ending so bad
I've never really been
Alone
I thought that I'd be sad
But the suns up tomorrow
And there's no clouds to see
How bout' that I have a day to me
I'm home
Ike E Davis Sep 2020
I'm getting soft in the middle
Well ,,really
I'm already there
My hair is thin and receding
You can't tell where its been
And I got baggage under my eyes
I cry at the sight of my shame
I'd like to point the finger at others
But I got my
Self to blame
I used to walk for miles
Sleep
Sleep
Right on the ground
Now I get dizzy
just
Sitting down
How is this really fair
It is so hard to see
That I feel young again
When you
Let your
hair down for me
Let your hair down
Oh yeah
Let your hair down
Ike E Davis Dec 2018
While riding  to loch Driscoll
Upon my faithful  ***
I came upon three calvary men
Who demand of me a tax
I pulled my trusted claymore
And my pistol capped
The devil take your souls and the copper coin to match
I took the bounty chest rightly full of gold
I yelled to the devil
Here comes three more for your hole
Shalah  hey Heidi do ** de oh
Life as a highwayman
Life as a highwayman
I buried half me treasure
And the other half is gone
Perhaps  the ****** that earned it
Will help the minstrel  sing my song

Shadey hey hey do oh
Life of a highwayman
Life  of  a  highwayman

I took the remaining treasure
And arranged passage on a
Ship
I would tame America with
The claymore  on my hip

Life of  a  highwayman
Life  of a highwayman

There was little chance of all of us
Being here today
We are all so busy running
Our devices and our cars
Yet here we are
Look around to one another
Say hello
Ask
Are you well
Its genuine
To be kind
It's being part of humankind
Aren't you glad you came down?
Love
is in the crowd
No need for Pointing fingers
He
she
they
may not be
The same
Who am I
To pass out labels
So don't label me
Walk a mile in these shoes
You'll never throw rocks
If glass houses you
Can you feel it now
Love is in the crowd
Love is in
The crowd
Give to others
Like you hope
to
Receive
The true gift is
Giving
the crowd
Might agree
Can we all agree somehow
That love
That love
That love
Is in the crowd
Ike E Davis Jul 2019
Where are such lovers
Of which I dream
Created and left
Between the sheets
Ike E Davis Dec 2018
You can close  your  eyes
That  won't stop  the monster
You can  deny
This pending  disaster
It's not funny how when
There is a need
There's no one there
At least not for me

I hold my breath
Counting begins
I get to a thousand
And start again
To close to ignore
To familiar to not fear it's at my door this monster
Is here
Burning candles  keep the light on
Running the TV
Until the dawn
There's no kryptonite
There's no crucifix
And denial
This time won't fix
Here is the monster
Here is the end
Ike E Davis Mar 2020
Subjected to restrictions
Expected to carry the line
All I need is a saddle
A bit so I can't complain.
Lights on
Lights off
Time of clocks
Is gone
Early to bed
Stubborn at rise
I rub the sleep
From my eyes
Potato in the ***
Fresh water still runs
When there is no water
There will be no need
For guns
I'll respond
I promise
To yeaee
And
Halt
And other threats
Don't hurt anyone
Else
Head down I take my lap
Freedom
At what cost
Ike E Davis Feb 2020
Ladies and Gentlemen
Lift your heads
Mr. Lucky is with us again
He's had ten thousand shots to his name
And not a one has addled his brain
He's ****** down a truck load of beer
And yet look at him
Standing there
ready to cheer
Oh he's quite a man
Just ask him
he'll tell you so
Why
he's a saint among sinners
Drinking wine ,
that's sanctimanial
He'll give you the shirt off his back
And tell everyone how kind he was
While committing the act
Oh I must say
he's surely Lucky
Having drank such mass amounts of
*****
And not having so much as a
Pooch
A Lucky man Indeed
Mr. Person....al....ity
just add
Alcohol
you'll see
He'll slur his words and get
Overly loud
He'll be the only real man
In the crowd
he will cheat on his wife and ignore his daughter
all for another glass of
liquid manure
Mr. Lucky indeed,  
Pay your tab when you leave.
Ike E Davis Feb 2022
I have an old bowl
I use it still
No reason to
Throw it
Away
It holds water
Or post , toasties
Whatever the
Meal
I steep my tea
In the vessel
Just to have room
For the leaves
To breathe
I never share
Out of it
After all ,,
It's mine
I keep it
Clean
Well, its good enough for me
A pitcher has a handle
A mug has depth
a bowl relies on my
Hands to maintain a grip
I put my hands together
And raise the rim to my lips
A motion much like praying
Especially when I  say grace
When I am gone
off
This mortal plane
And all my possessions
Are scattered to the wind
Whoever in their right mind
Would use my bowl
Again?
Ike E Davis Oct 2021
There's a void here Dear God
A dark spot on
what was a shiny soul
Anger and contempt
Are polished black and **** in life
Like a black hole
And who do I blame?
Everyone
Who caused such pain
Anyone
in my circle
That ever got in my way
And critizied my domain
With their pointing; boney fingers,
And spittle flying from their lips
So easy to point and criticize
Any belief
The arguments that never
Changed anybodies mind
The drawn out drama
That drains my life
And I try to gather any
Bit of happiness
A little piece of joy
Like little bright
Beautiful marbles
That I've lost for sure.
Ike E Davis Oct 2018
With the next sun rise
meet it with your loved ones
Marvel
over its beauty
Bask in its light
For that is when
I will come
Eat as a king
Accomplish your tasks
Complete
what you have abandoned
For I
am nearer
Enjoy forbidden fruits
Tobacco and spirits
As the sun
dips
Dance with your family
And watch the sunset
Embraced
with your wife
Keep her close now
And love her
I will be moving faster
Pray to your god
And ensure that he will watch over your family and that he is prepared to receive you
For I am on the hill
overlooking your village
I can see you kneel
Here
I will rest
I will pray
I will tell of my grievances
Over the hill
toward the village
So all will know my intent
And
who I have come for
I too will drink and eat
In celebration of
Either
you will see your god
Or I will see mine
To either end
My enemy has seen my courage
And knows of my grace
I will greet your family
And tell them you fought well
and brave
Knowing that you will do the same
for me
Now the first ray of light
I am here
I am here
Face me with courage
And weapon drawn
I am brave
I am strong
May all mourn you before
The last light of the sun fades
May all say their farewells and tell of your bravery on this day
By then I will be on the hill
Moving away.
For with my departure
comes darkness
Ike E Davis Nov 2020
My sword is
sharper
Than a razor
This is true
It can cut Through air
My skills
Through meditation
Makes my path
Clear.
I move
Faster, than your
Eye
Train harder than
A
Dark knight
I can conceal myself
In shadows
Of night
I bow
Bleed
Even lie
To achieve
This life
With Loneliness ,
One can focus
On the self
And peace is
The balance
This allows me
Fit sleep
Ike E Davis Dec 2018
It is necessary
Force on force
There really  is no
Power with just
A voice
It is a necessary
Evil
I'm In charge
Do as i say
When i hear no
That makes my day
Here comes my chance
To choke or punch
Not too much
Throttle control
The gas
There's a fine line when
Beating  ***
You can't  let on
The violence really
Gets you off
A
Good technique
Is when you make them
Whine
The bigger they
Are its devine
I can make
A six foot two
Two hundred
Pound man
Cry
Hold me back
Or let me go
I'm a sadistic
Fellow  on
Patrol
In society
There's no other
Way
Ike E Davis Apr 2020
I wanna touch
Your face
Ungloved
I wanna smell your breath
With you mask
Off
It is more treacherous
Than a storming sea
It is more dangerous than a
Waring Family


No one knows
None are out and about
I would not risk so much
For just hanging out
We are both pale
No matter what the light
It is the pallor of loneliness
Only you do I trust
We now have a pact


Against those we were to guard.


I undress and
Close the door
Ike E Davis Feb 2020
Our President assassinated
Beale Airforce base obliterated
This was the main radar station for western
States United
A plague released
Not from nature
It was engineered
and developed
Star force a joke?
It was designed to keep our
Satellites protected.
Yet computer viruse pulled
Them from orbits projected
Now leaderless no communication
I could here jets and bombs go off
At the nearest military installation
Water shut off
Electricity gone
The cities began to devour themselves
No need for a bomb
I hoped my daughter could get home
Just to be safe with me and mom
I had a gun.
Would I use it?
To protect my family
I would save them and not
Lose it
Locals begin to cannibalize other houses and
Resources
when you only have one gun
You learn to hide and use gorilla warfare
Courses
We managed many did not
We wander a bit to keep our enemies
From finding us out.
Boy I wish I hadn't been naive
I would **** for fresh water
And a bit of cheese
We have become like RATS
Ike E Davis Mar 2020
Oh she's all I need
I know she knows
And I hope she won't
Leave me when she
See's


(Chorus)


I may be ordinary now
I vanish in a crowd
In time I'll burn
Like a flame
I won't be ordinary
One day
,,,
She must
move on
She's out lived her stay
It's far better
now
Since we've parted
ways
We won't end at goodbye
Since we can't be friends
I can't be ordinary
If you think this must end
(Chorus)
One more  chance
I'll dumb down to stay
I'd rather give my all now
To be more than
Ordi...
nary !
Ike E Davis May 12
When they read the obituary
How was your life summed up
I hope it is extraordinary
Was your first loved mentioned
Was your favorite dogs named there
Did they cover how you laughed
The sweet smell of your hair
Facts, facts facts
Or did it show your favorite
Fantasy
People love to search the text
For their name
A few lines or paragraphs
A nod of Recognition
Then on to other things
Social media and
Tic toc addiction
Write your own story
Make it what you want to say
After all...its you that passed away.
Ike E Davis May 21
It is usually of yellow color
Unless the vessel that produces
The ichor has some how made it
Paler
It is just waste liquid
But it is sterile
If you are dehydrated it isn't very
Pleasant
You must drink plenty of water
If you don't want it to be offensive
Certain foods can affect its scent
Go ahead eat asparagus and
Experiment
It dries on the seat of a commode most unpleasant
And when in a strange place to encounter it is worst of all
Dogs mark their territory with it
And bums spray it on walls
Some refer to it as golden showers
And find eroticism in its passing display
It is a right of passage for the young to not **** their pants when at play
And who out of the many
Hasn't done the ***-*** dance
Or laughed too hard
To **** their pants
Ike E Davis May 2019
Do not confuse heritage and nationality.
Heritage is your family and racial background.
Nationality is the country you reside in ,
It is also what connects us as the third definition
Americans.
Ike E Davis Jun 2021
She doesn't mind the trailer
Or the brand he smokes
She thinks about the car she wants as she sits waiting
for the bus
She does her wash at her folks house and her pop doesn't understand
why his daughter stays with such a man

Here in Omaha
She dreams of a better life
In Omaha
She struggles to get by
Here
in Omaha

Another pay check he cashed and spent down at the casino he gambles with the rent
She may have to work some doubles to pay for this weeks food bill
When you're eating for two you do whatcha gotta do

In Omaha
She dreams of a better life
In Omaha
She struggles to get by
Here in Omaha

She told him he'll be a father
And he demands a test
To prove he's the daddy and show her unfaithfulness
She takes a small bundle
of her things
and goes away from him
to live out her dreams

In Omaha
Here in Omaha
In Omaha
Here in Omaha

A young man sees her in distress he asks if she needs help and she tells him yes

In Omaha
Ike E Davis Dec 2022
One small flame
That is uniquely yours
It eats away at its wick
Like time eats away at our
Bodies. It brings us comfort this little flame, it shows us our surroundings in the dark. Though it is small it brings about warmth.  
Put to other things it can spread and the flame can create a huge roaring fire.  If I force this flame upon you it is intrusive,  perhaps blinding and burns , the smoke obscures.
If you need to find a source of light you may look upon my candles flame and find commonality there for you too have such a candle.
Funny, when many candles come together: they look like the stars in the universe.  I hope this message finds you well, and when we part I hope you are better for our meeting.

Ike E Davis Oct 2018
The drink is poured
Once more I drought deep
The swill does not quench my thirst
For thirst I do not seek
As the liquid goes to the darkness
Of my gullet
I ask for another pour
And think
nothing of it
For bottomless now the cup
And for sustenance 
I need not sup
For once the mull has taken hold
I slip ever so slightly into that hole
Newer was the light that the drink at first stirred up
And now the quest  for such brilliance I have not saught
Hope slips effortlessly
Away from me
As I look about expecting to be
Pointed out
And called drunkard..liar
Weakest man around
But in this place there is not one
Who can be found
To lift his head higher from
His cup
His shame
His misery
No man to stop him
No woman to turn his hand
Only himself
And himself to blame
But blame is fruitless
And the spirits are cheap
Another round is needed
And this leads to sleep
And dreams are distorted as is the
Truth..
Especially when
guzzling gin and vermouth.
Ike E Davis Mar 2019
U prom.....

For telling me
Tellin'

Promises
Oh oh oh ah promises

Even try
U promised
U hate
Ike E Davis Apr 15
I feel like I'm living on a huge scale,
Everyday a little bit more piles up , opposite of me. Soon, the weight will shift, and I will slide down , across the fulcrum and then sliding ever down into that, dark heavy patch of worry.
Hoping to come out the otherside, unscathed and once again; balanced.
Ike E Davis Jan 2019
You can ask for your ring back
It can signify your status
There are several types of
Rings
From head to eyebrows
Or used as ****** devices
Rings on necklaces
Or exchanged
During promises
They can mark an
Achievement
Or be passed
At times of bereavement
A representation of a bond
Of a loving future
Or revoked  when
That love
Is gone
Expensive or cheap
It's the thought behind
It
For a circle
Is infinite
Ike E Davis Oct 2020
The walls are thin
And whispy white
Wind can be heard blowing
Through them
And shadows cast by daylight
Cement floors with throw rugs
nothing is damp
A small double bed opposite the door
Big enough for only one
The bathroom door moves
Open and shut
Like a heartbeat
When the wind picks up
it's never cold
The roof is tin
Tile and tar
It never drips water
On the floor
There's a counter no table
A hot plate
No stove
Windows look
Westward
Showing a place to go
You can hear the ocean
If you are still
Open the front door
To greet the rising sun
I can see her car pulling up
The hill behind the barn
Back inside to tidy up
I have no flowers
To set out
And no wine
To get drunk
I have this room
Thats enough
Ike E Davis Jan 2021
String by the  scissors
I'm gonna cut some ****
That real deep stuff
You can't forget
I may bleed
To know I'm alive
At least I tried
Going through old photos
I remember mostly being sad
Weird how that shapes us
Being around those so..neg-ah-tive
You've got to shoot for glory
And not worry
about other people's lies
Ike E Davis Jul 2019
If I start searchin'
I'm afraid of what i'll find
What if I find her
and she don't wanna be my....ine
I can't just walk away from that
I just can't start again
When you find your soul mate
And she just wants to be friends


***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done


I can see  her
Those ******* beautiful eyes
I can taste her
Even when my mouth is dry
Holding hands
Walking on a beach
I want her so bad
But she's outta reach


***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done
***** it I'm done
Ike E Davis Nov 2021
Searching
Oh I'm searching
I got no one to call

Oh ,,,,
I hung my head low
Lower than

my soul
Oh...how long have I been
Searching,,,,
thinking I'd find
The truth
Oh and I start looking
At no one here but myself

Yeah...I been searching
And searching and I bowed my
Head
Finding
The door was open
And Jesus was the way
You...you .you
Could spend your life searching
But take it from me
Now there ain't no denying
Jesus;
showed me the way
Who's searching
Who's searching when there's
No need...Jesus gave and gave
And this searcher was saved
A.....MMMMEN!
AMEN
Ike E Davis Jun 2020
There will be
A second shot
Heard around the world
Brother will again
Face brother
Chest to chest
Blood will be shed
There will be
Civil unrest
Those we thought
Were brothers in arms
Will show their true
Colors
Lines will be drawn
Of theirs and ours
To define new
Borders
A constant fight
Will be border
Control
Just like DMZ
Or Israel
I will find a side
So shall you
We will meet opposed
Or under
United Districts
I do this for my children's
Future
I make oaths and sign
In blood
May God guide my hand
Against those I oppose
As I raise the ***** Jaw Bone

You've been shamed into hating your lineage
Shamed into thinking you are them
Guided down a path of self destruction
Only to bow your head
God doesn't exist
according to the new
Boeheimiams
He  hasn't existed before
Turning your back on your
Existence.  What Are You Living For?
afraid to do the wrong thing
Fear has been used to control your mind
Its usually about money?
Maybe not this time
Economy's fail, businesses close, but hide the collapse under a mask
Whose to know?
Blame it on the blacks
No one will doubt it.
Fear can drive bigotry
(Whisper painfully to almost a silent cry)
The banks are In on it...
200 trillion reasons
Only so many are at
A percentage high
A thousand years of peace to follow
I bow my head and try...
To love myself
and forgive myself
And trust myself again, and again.
Ike E Davis Nov 2022
Dancing and holding her
hips
the small bend of her back
That flat
full belly
It can't be matched
It can't be copied
We may lust for that
Power
We can fool ourselves into
Believing our bodies
Could be like a
Her
But none can design like
Nature
I walk with my arm around her waist
And I can smell her hair
And the nape of her neck
Delicate but strong
Not like a man at all
Amen
Ike E Davis Nov 2019
She's better without  me now
It took me a little while to see
Just how she's
Better without me
I gave
I sure gave alot
And I will
never
Get that back
But love is made that
Way. It's never something that's
To be repaid
I can make it too
I'm stronger now
From knowing when
We were through
I hope.  Really wish her the best
She a better person now
Since I flew the nest
Looking back just
Makes me feel weak
My stomach knots
And my heart just sinks
I am moving on
I
Am
Moving on
Alone
And it's ok
I can breathe
I can breathe
This way
Ike E Davis Feb 2019
Shelter yourself
To where you've
Abandoned
Hope
Better to ignore The pain
Than to bleed
Break a bone
It heals stronger
Break with a toxic
Person
Is loneliness
Better?
In time
All things are
Supposed to
Heal
Unless
The black rot
Of death and dying
Is enough to
Over whelm
Any hope
Of trying
And tears from
That are not worth
Crying
But don't deny
Yourself
The chance
Of trying
Believe
Believe
Belief can move
Mountains ...
Move mountain
Move
Ike E Davis Nov 2019
She'll never grow older than
That day
I'll never need my space
Or turn her away
I'll never kiss her lips
Or gaze deep in her eyes
Again.


We won't walk hand in hand
I'll never see her smile
at my
Dad jokes
I'll never
smell her hair
Or trip over her ****
Eat her gourmet cooking
Or her pork and beans


She'll never realize
Her dreams


Our daughters will cry
At the drop of her name
I'll never look at her side of
The bed
the same
There will be nights
When her warmth isn't there
And I'll wish she'd whisper
Sweet words in my ear
But I've inherited
the wind
It's been quite  a loss
To have lightening in a bottle
To just have
it suddenly
lost
I'll never be the same
And she'll never
age
a day
Ike E Davis Nov 2019
She's important to me
So you know
I think a lot about
Us being alone
When I kiss her
I feel good
Holding hands
When we walk
Just like lovers
Should
Sometimes I see her
Looking at me
Smiling
I smile back
She's important to me


You can take all your
Necessities
You can keep me
From the
Things I need
You can hold back
All my cash
You can take my
Internet
But don't take
Her I'm begging
Please
She's so
Important to me


Shes like sleep
Like the food I eat
Like hair
Clothes
Jethro tull
Pantera.
Heavy jazz
Shes important to me.

That's a shiny penny
A glowing copper top
I should stop and
pick it up
Give it to my friend
Who means the world to me
It cost just a penny
But it's a pretty thing
I'll give it to my sweetheart
And make it to a ring
Ike E Davis Sep 2019
Us and them
Divide and conquer
Right
But who holds the knife?
Who benefits?
Not you
Not me
Together
Yell it
Together
A house divided
Cannot stand
You can lean on me
I can reach out
to you
I don't care about your
Skin
Or where you've been
You are a citizen
That's where
we begin
United
Ike E Davis Apr 14
You left
with so much undone
On your departure
Its like
You took the sun
Nothing green grows
Here
No one hears my
Prayers

Since you've gone

I guess I'm to blame
For your
Leav,,,,,ing

If you have to go
Don't look back
You'll get ****** in
And I'd hate that
Its all my fault

Since you've gone

I know I'm to blame

I'd rather see you fly
Without my arms
Around your neck
Like a dead weight
I'd rather
You be free
Than have the burden
Of me

Since you're gone
I wish you the best
Since you've gone
I appreciate
Your need to climb
higher without me
I can say I helped you
along the way

Since your gone.
Ike E Davis Feb 2020
Everything matters
These words their meanings
And the hope behind them
Friendship its bond
And the love it brings
Your health my health
Mental and physical
Our loved ones
Your loved ones
Really anyone you may deal with
These things matter
Strength to take on each
Individual day
To find brightness on
The dark days
Little things,
Matter
You matter, to me
Five years of sobriety
Five years of honest hard work
After that call me
We won't go get a drink
But I will make you
Dinner.
If you feel that I matter

You can ditch those people that your running with
Just tell them the facts
That your hanging with an older cat
But he's
So broken
He's busted inside
So broken
Some scars you can't hide
So broken
So broken
I used to run at the head of the pack
A used to a kinda wuz ain't no doubt about
That
I'm broken boys
I'm
So broken
I'm busted inside
So broken
These scars I cant hide
I'm so broken
I can see
Your what's gonna cure me..
So broken...oh
So broken..
Soo sooo soo..yeah

Someone
Someone
Pick a side
Sitting there watching your wheat grow
Why don't you rise?
Amber waves mean Nothing now
Nothing to me
The banners have never been so beaten
Bullet holes mar the star field
It means nothing to  me now
You should rise
You should rise
In unity we
Once stood majestic mountain high
Stand now
Oh okay
Lean on me
It's only a store bought word
Liberty
Rise no more against
The corporate machine
Your voice is lost
Against the social media screen
I have no brother
I have no border
I have no one
To help me see
A future where we can
Live in harmony
Oh rise one more time
Face the setting sun
For I fear tomorrow
This land has none

I often wonder if we could stand a little stronger
You could always catch me when I fall
And when your knees buckle
I'd save you from the ground.

You catch me when I'm staring
I turn my head and laugh
your still as beautiful as on the day we met
Other times , when the light hits you a Certain way
I can see both our daughters in your profile
and it blows my mind away
Honestly ...

You're my best friend
don't ask me why
You hold your ground when you're right better than any man, and when you're mistaken,,well it happens seldom times,
you are big enough to stand up and make it right
You work like a mule
you are stubborn through and through
These are just some reasons I fell in love with you
You're the mother of my children my partner and my friend
I don't know where I'd be now if you didn't take my hand
Growing old *****
But together we strive
you and I will make it through
side by side,
I still stop to wonder if we could ever stand stronger you'd catch me when I fall?

My faith lately has been very challenged
So I stepped back and looked at what my faith means
I realized the problem right away,  its people who don't agree with me
Religion is word of mouth
Faith is what you believe
So my religious foundations are based on hearing a story and for me to agree
Man conveys the stories and I drink the kool-aid
Why are there only a select few that gods have spoken to?
Am I not a child of light
Shouldn't I be able to connect directly to the Almighty?
All my religious references have been passed down to me, if I was never told of the glory of God
Would I know it? Would I find solace and bend my knees to heaven thanking God for the gifts he has given? I know I have lost my faith in men.
So does that mean their stories of God are lost to me as well? There are books and books all written by mans hand, there are no longer burning bushes that communicate.  Why are there no miracle workers walking the earth now. Why are there no messiahs today? Seems I'm disconnected and my connection to God was explained to me by an ordinary group of men. It just comes down to; "What do I believe,  and how am I supposed to find my own way after being tainted by the religious concepts of man, on this let us pray" amen

A stronger man reaches out to help a weaker man
His strength over  comes the others mans
Failure, due to both of
their energies they are able to function and both of their halves makes them strong as one.
Don't look at it as a case of halves.
The weaker man gives more to help the stronger one stay strong during the process of assistance.
Because whatever hope the weaker fellow is now experiencing due to the arrival of the hero, he transfers that energy out to help give power to the rescue.
Don't look at it like heros and weaklings,
Think of it as brother helping brother.
And don't you know,
He's not heavy he's my brother
